Chef Notes
- Avocado creates a smooth, velvety base for the wasabi cream, eliminating the need for traditional cream.
- Avocado’s ability to complement both savoury and spicy elements, such as prawns and wasabi, enhances the flavour profile of any dish.
- The creamy and mild taste of avocado complements the delicate flavours of seafood, creating a harmonious balance that enhances the natural sweetness and freshness of the dish.
